No way can the Stereophonics compare wither You Gotta Go There To Come Back or 'JEEP' to their early stuff. Word Gets Around, means something and is raw and the best album the made it was made because that is what they were about not wot would sell thousands of copies and for it, it is a great album, probably my favourite although let down by the later work. If you see them live they also used to explain how Word Gets Around was a bit of an autobiography through music, it was their life growing up in a little town in Wales, worth buying by anyone now into any of the new wave of British guitar music, just ignore what has happened lately.
